   NEP, 2020: augmenting student learning outcomes through FLN
  Recognizing the importance of early learning, the National Education Policy 2020 states that “Our
  highest priority must be to achieve universal foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) in primary
  school and beyond by 2025. The rest of the policy will be largely irrelevant for such a large portion of
  our students if this most basic learning (reading, writing, and arithmetic at the foundational level) is not
  first achieved.”
                      Launching a National  
                      Mission on Foundational

     learning the  highest             in primary  schools by 
     priority for the country              2026-27
     The highest priority of school education will be “Universal acquisition 
     of Foundational learning skills by Grade 3”
                                                                             Higher order learning

      Grade 3 is the inflection point by which children are expected to             Foundational Skills
         “learn to read” so that they can “read to learn” after that. 
   The Education system aims to achieve Foundational Literacy and Numeracy by 2026-27, where,
